Additional disk space for my prestashop shop

[islemPLT]

hello guys

i have a prestashop shop which hosted in ovh (b2-30 instance)

as my img folder is growing (more then 100GB) i think to purchase extra volume in ovh and link/mount it to my website img folder, with needed permissions nginx could be able to serve images from my extra disk/volume

my question is, if any one tried it would tell me about pros and cons of this, is there any latency due to network? and what do you guys thinks about using s3 instead?

thanks a lot

Hi,

Adding Local Storage:

Pros:

• Increased storage space.
• Relatively easy to implement.
• Potentially cost-effective.

Cons:

• Possible latency, especially if network-mounted.
• Adds complexity to server configuration.
• Requires careful maintenance and backup.

Using S3 or Similar:

Pros:

• Highly scalable.
• High durability and availability.
• Integration with CDN for global delivery.

Cons:

• May be more expensive.
• Requires additional configuration.
• Introduces a dependency on the third-party service.

Considerations:

• Conduct performance tests.
• Establish a robust backup strategy.
• Consider future storage needs and scalability.

@Knowband Plugins please, did yout try ovh volume (bloc storage) for similar case ?
